~@$£~*%&£~

Pretty sure I got caught on a mobile speed camera this afternoon while driving home from work, the irony is that most of the journey had been pretty busy so couldn't have drove faster if I had wanted too.
Oh well, we'll see in a few weeks and on the bright side I'm helping to fund the police force (they keep the fines in our area).

Predators

Looks surprisingly decent.

LOST series finale

In a surprising move SKY1 will be screening the series finale of LOST at the same time as it airs on the west coast of the UK which equates to around 5am on Monday the 24th, it'll be a double length episode which means I won't have time to watch it before I go to work.
What are the odds that god damned radio1 will spoil the thing before the day is out!

Blu-ray bonanza

My postie has been busy this morning delivering my latests Blu-rays.

• Minority Report
• Pandorum
• Planet51

I also picked up The Postman and Crank earlier this week from the US.

I really don't give a monkies about this afternoons FA Cup final participants so I've got time to watch a couple of my new movies:)

Heroes Cancelled

While not that surprising giving it's budget and lack lustre audiences in the US I would have thought other revenues sources would have kept the ever declining show on for another season. I'm not going to miss the show, after the first incredible season (one of the best in genre telly) it has gone downhill season after season with yet another lame finale this year.

SGU Blu-ray (UK)

The UK release date of the first season Blu-ray boxset is July 5th but they are seriously taking the piss with the pricing, Amazon have it at £50.99 and others even more. I know MGM have money issues but how many people will not buy at a premium price compared to other 20 odd episode Blu-rays and like me pick it up a few months after release for a fraction of the price.
Now if the Blu-ray had been priced more reasonably I might have picked it up straight away, my self imposed Blu pricing limits are more flexible with boxsets.

These are so funny and as fan of Psych, Burn Notice and White Collar I can't wait
for their US return.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

I've just finished the novel and I really enjoyed it, it's written as part journal part novel and well it's riveting stuff as a young Lincoln is exposed to vampires and over the years learns of their involvement in shaping the young nation as a home safe for them to exploit a slave based culture where life is worthless.
Highly recommended:)

Avatar

I got my Blu-ray copy of Avatar in the post today, off to watch it in a few minutes but just giving a quick skim the use of 16:9 doesn't feel right when you know the movie should be in scope. I'm pretty sure I'll be double dipping in a year when the uber release has been out for a few months and the price drops but for now this will do just fine:)

BSG Blackbird

The guys at QMX have a new replica on the way, this time we are being treated to a very limited edition of the Blackbird stealth ship from BSG. It's beautiful and if I had a good chunk of expendable income or won the lottery I'd be there but I don't:)

Southpark and the Simpsons

Subtle:)

Brimstone

The criminally short lived TV series "Brimstone" initially aired in the UK by SKY1 many moons ago is being rerun on The Horror Channel starting on the 21st of April at 8pm.
If you haven't seen the show it tells the story of a cop who is killed days after murdering his wifes rapist, for that sin he goes to hell but when there is a mass break out the Devil recruits him to catch the condemned souls in return for a chance of redemption.

Scarlett Johansson or should it be Iron Man 2

Either way that's an impressive image:)

Trek Nation

Changes

My hardback copy of the latest Dresden Files "Changes" by Jim Butcher arrived from Amazon about err two hours ago, god bless independent couriers:)
Start a reading after work tomorrow, expecting great things.

Castle

Castle starring Nathan Fillion gets it's UK premiere tonight at 9pm on the sat/cable channel Alibi.
A great little series with good characters and funny writing:)

Humpty Dumpty

Ok I didn't fall off a wall but my long serving Buffy cappuccino mug finally succumbed to gravity and broke into three pieces, I probably could glue it together but what are the odds of scolding me bits when it cracked again:)
I've done a search and can only find one of the mugs on ebay as they have long since stopped manufacture and surprisingly the large mug memorabilia market seems to have died a death.

There is a funky True Blood mug I would have to import and a snazzy black Supernatural mug, not sure which I fancy but I've certainly don't like normal mugs after using me Buffy mug for so long:)

Going Postal - Official Trailer

I can't get the embedded video to play on this site so the link to the SKY1 site will have to do.
I have to say the production values look good but not quite sure the man in a suite golem looks good enough, perhaps the CGI option was too expensive.
